I am stuck with this :(
It prevents me from testing in the field ubuntu-MATE kstars/ekos on raspberry pi 2. I will spend a lot of time on the observatory next month and it is annoying not being able to put the time into good use.

But most important for QHY, it prevents me from buying its IC8300 camera. It's no sense to sell a linux camera to integrate INDI but not having working drivers! I lost my faith on that branch.

libqhy version 0.1.4






the following env is :
ubuntu 14.04 x86_64

Thank you lzr!

So there is a way to get it working!! I think I will find time tomorrow, so I will try to put some order on the lib versions, as I don't have same versions you show.

In the mean time, would you be so kind to let us know the way we can get the proper versions? I don't think I am discovering those through apt-get and knro repositories.

As soon as I got it working I will report how it works on the field

I eventually got it working. After matching lib versions I still got two problems. First, it kept showing 0.1.2 missing. And second, udev rules not ready for my qhy5.

libqhy.so was a link to a missing file libqhy.so.0.
So I linked it to the libqhy.0.1.4. I don't recall a reason for that broken link so I guess it wasn't my fault ;)

Regarding udev rules I ended up adding as many as 4 lines. Don't ask me why, as I don't understand what i did.

So it would be pretty helpful to easy things...

Can you post the lines you added to udev rules? Then we can analyze it and add them to the driver ;) Was the same for my QHY5, there seem to be a whole collection of PIDs.

@Libs: Looks like something went wrong there :( When the driver searched for 0.1.2 it was compiled against it. Then the driver (up to date one) should be recompiled against 0.1.4. As I'm the Fedora packager for INDI things I know very well that this is quite sensitive.

Greetings,
Christian

What I did for my qhy5 to work was adding 4 lines to 85-qhy.rules, as I said. Maybe the logic of what I did is wrong, but I worked ;)

I found 3 lines referening to the same qhy5 device:
ATTRS{idVendor}=="1618", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1002", RUN+="/sbin/fxload -t fx2 -I /lib/firmware/qhy/QHY5LOADER.HEX -D $env{DEVNAME}"
SYSFS{idVendor}=="1618", SYSFS{idProduct}=="1002", RUN+="/bin/sleep 5"
ATTRS{idVendor}=="1618", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1002", RUN+="/sbin/fxload -t fx2 -I /lib/firmware/qhy/QHY5.HEX -D $env{DEVNAME}"

So I duplicated those 3 lines and changed vids and pids for mines: 16c0 296a. And then went to the end of the file and duplicated this line:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="16c0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2971", MODE="0666"
changing again vid and pid for 16c0 and 296a

I hope it helps someone.

Regards,

Hi, I'm a n00b to INDI trying to get up to speed and eventually contribute something. I've purchased a QHY5L-II and have it running nicely on LinGuider, but not quite running on a Pi 2 with indiserver. I've been reading all the relevant posts I can find, compiled and installed version 2286 from SVN, and fixed the Missing Link by pointing it to /usr/lib/libqhy.so.0.1.4.

At this point, running KStars/Ekos from a desktop gets a connection to the camera, but asking it to take an image results in the client getting stuck waiting for the capture to finish. I think the camera is being set up correctly based on the following from dmesg:
[ 1870.399548] usb 1-1.5: new high-speed USB device number 6 using dwc_otg
[ 1870.499964] usb 1-1.5: New USB device found, idVendor=1618, idProduct=0920

[ 1872.550432] usb 1-1.5: Manufacturer: QHC-CCD
However, in the terminal in which indiserver is running, I get this:

...and trying to do much of anything with the camera driver -- set the exposure or gain, for example -- results in the message
Driver indi_qhy_ccd: indi_qhy_ccd dispatch error:
with the corresponding state indicator stuck in busy lemon mode.

So, some questions:
  • Anything obviously dumb I'm doing? :dry:
  • There doesn't seem to be firmware specific to the QHY5L-II, just QHY5II.HEX. Is that the right file to be loaded for the L version?
  • Any other suggestions as to where my debugging efforts should be directed? I'm somewhat competent with C/C++ and Debian and would like to help squash some bugs.

Thanks

You're not doing anything wrong, QHY also crashes for me. I emailed QHY and still waiting for response. The problem is that only binary blob is available from QHY and no debug symbols, so we have to wait on QHY to resolve this.

OK, how can I help? I'm happy to try, within the usual time constraints imposed by the day job, etc.

I had looked at your post before I wrote my first message on this thread, and I tried the method used by gus_ to see if it would work. It didn't work for my QHY5L-II, which would seem to make sense given the new camera's different firmware process.

One thing about the new camera has worked spectacularly well: Since the camera arrived, my town has been covered in dense fog... :S
